blonde poker forum

Why did you choose the online username you did?

My friend is studying use of language in various contexts and has decided to analyse the use of specific language/words in online pokernames.  If you think you could help with the research, please could you comment on your username, why you thought it appropriate to use and what type of player image were you hoping to portray?

Do you think it has achieved the desired effect?

Is your choice of Avatar relevant to your playing style or maybe you use it to mislead?  

Your comments may be used in the assignment but your real name will remain anonymous.  Many thanks if you can help, it really is appreciated.

If you would prefer PM me

thanks in advance

i have definitely tried female online poker names and avatars in the past - always going to have it, right? - never made any difference!

Chose the name TonyKendall on stars so that people would think I always have it and I could bluff the shit outta everyone.

Still get called every time.

Just choose a screen name you like imo.

Things like Dave1962 or AnnieBigBoobs are just always the most easily identifiable as regs.

Initially had Rich_Black1974 which seemed pretty rubbish after a while so change them all to Eso Kral after I met Petra which means Ace King in Slovak where she is from.

Use George2loose (<3 Bedi) as my stars avatar as people just think that a 50 year old Asian guy is always gonna have it.

Arbboy in 2006 was self explanatory. I was arbing for a living.

I named myself after a French football manager. My avatar is the actor John Nettles. I used to use the same name sometimes when DJing.

Yes this makes no sense!

I was on your table last night. I wondered who that was!  I gave you a double, was smashed into the vodkas and wanting bed!

I picked my username based on my nickname and the number Hotmail gave me with my email address. Other sites vary but mainly variatons of 7 3 off! Not sure why I picked those, thing to was a worst hand worst player vibe

Ingeniously my stars name uses the first letter of my first name and then part of my surname! The avatar is of Nadal doing a fistpump because I lost a bet with a player on Murray vs Nadal, with the loser having to use an avatar of the other player.

I imagine it's very rare for players to have much reason behind their username since they probably weren't planning to become a pro or player incredibly regularly.

I'm very happy my username isn't Monster Dong, TopBeaver69 or something like that...!

I mainly use CooperAyIt or variations on that nowadays

my surname is Cooper so that is pretty much self explanatory........

Ay It is a Black Country phrase for 'isn't it' - one of my mates, sadly no longer with us, used to shout 'Cooper Ay it!' every time he saw me anywhere so I guess I use it as a kind of tribute to him

Black Country version of innit, innit

Ar me mon
